Development

''Da Capo'' was Circus's sixth game, but was the fourth game developed by the development group Circus Northern who had also produced their second title '' Suika''.

Mikage wrote Nemu's and Sakura's scenarios; Kure (short for Soratobuenban ni Kure ga Notta yo) wrote Kotori's and Yoriko's scenarios; Yoko Yoko wrote Moe's and Mako's scenarios; and Mari wrote Miharu's scenario. Character design and art direction was divided between three people.
